Snatcher (1996)

Snatcher is a graphic adventure game produced by Konami. It was originally released for the Japanese PC-8801 and MSX2 computers in 1988 and later remade for the Super CD-ROM in 1992. In 1994, a Sega Mega-CD version was made specifically for the West and released in North America and Europe (without any equivalent version on the Japanese Mega-CD). In 1996, the game was re-released in Japan once again, this time on the Sega Saturn and PlayStation. It was written and directed by Hideo Kojima, who would go on to become famous thanks to the success of the Metal Gear Solid series, although he was not directly involved with the Mega-CD version or the later 32-bit console versions. It was followed by a spiritual successor, Policenauts, which Kojima also wrote and directed.
